x86/asm/entry/32: Reinstate clearing of pt_regs->r8..r11 on EFAULT path



I broke this recently when I changed pt_regs->r8..r11 clearing
logic in INT 80 code path.

There is a branch from SYSENTER/SYSCALL code to INT 80 code:
if we fail to retrieve arg6, we return EFAULT. Before this
patch, in this case we don't clear pt_regs->r8..r11.

This patch fixes this. The resulting code is smaller and
simpler.

While at it, remove incorrect comment about syscall dispatching
CALL insn: it does not use RIP-relative addressing form (the
comment was meant to be "TODO: make this rip-relative", and
morphed since then, dropping "TODO").
